THROUGHOUT  MIGRATION PACIFIC FASHION HAS ALWAYS HAD A HOME HERE IN AOTEAROA, BUT WHERE IS IT HEADING?

Pacific Fusion Fashion Show 2023 explores the creative realms of designers and their own cultural ideologies of where they originate from and how that translates through their collections. 

We also navigate what Pacific fashion fused with other cultures looks like and where it is headed. It’s no secret that the embodiment and inspiration of the pacific aesthetic hails from our heritage and where we descend from - fashion or not.
